[Claude Mathis]

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

1 to move it to the Lighting section

2 to argue, then move it to the Electricals section

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

5 to flame the spell checkers

3 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty

7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, just to add "Me too"

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

Hey wait just one moment...I work for the government and that is just about how we do it except that there needs to be a comitiee to see if in fact the light bulb in question really needs to be changed, then a bid process needs to be developed to determine where to purchase the light bulbs and do no forget the lawyers drawing up the contract to purchase the light bulb from the lowest bidder. there is the posibility that a Union action my occour as the county electriction will file a greivance with the union because a comitiee determined if the light bulb was actully burned out rather than the electricion. In the mean time we are in the dark with no light at the end of the tunnel.

Hey wait just one moment...I work for the government and that is just about how we do it except that there needs to be a comitiee to see if in fact the light bulb in question really needs to be changed, then a bid process needs to be developed to determine where to purchase the light bulbs and do no forget the lawyers drawing up the contract to purchase the light bulb from the lowest bidder. there is the posibility that a Union action my occour as the county electriction will file a greivance with the union because a comitiee determined if the light bulb was actully burned out rather than the electricion.

I have often pondered "Is this a Forum, or an Again'em?" People just like to cause a stir. It provokes interesting conversation, mostly. Sometimes starts a fight. Oh well.....we are strange creatures. Amongst all the bickering, I have learned a lot here. Developed a like for some and, Oh well, You know.....

[IronCrickett]

In my younger days, I was a master electrician with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in Las Vegas. During that time I "repaired" many lighting implements. Those types include: Incadescents, Flourescents, and Neons. This is the correct termonology as I recall.

There are only three proper ways to replace these implements, however, due to Intelectual Properties held by the union, I can not divulge these. I'd spent 4 years in an apprenticeship learning how to do it correctly. :youcrazy:

Where's the best place to buy bulbs and such, I think i'd like to try doing it myself. :thumbsup:

 

[Darkhorse]

I work for the Government also and this post offends me. I demand to see my EEO agent.
Everybody knows a contractor changes all light bulbs. Only the lowest bidder need apply.

Lightbulbs, hummmph!

We use fireflies in a jar here in the Muskethouse...

[oomcurt]

Er....ah...hey Guys...you're all in the dark ages....something new on the market...called "Dark Suckers". How it works is..it looks like the old style light bulb but works differently..you flip the switch and it starts sucking up the dark. After the bulb is full you discard it.....
